Lompoc Lyrics

In the wake of all frustration

Passing time makes me impatient

So I search for a cheap invitation to leave

Five years this city I've called my home

Leave her as two when I arrived alone

Make a few calls on the mobile phone, it's done

This time I'm doing different

This time I won't be so naive

This time I can't be sure of the outcome

So we pack it all

And load the car

Make a break for the interstate

Leave loads behind

It's not the norm

But it's cheaper to replace

We drive it in ten hour shift

From L.A. to outside Salt Lake

I start to think about intangible things

Can't separate feelings from the place

The cracks in the road

The smell of the air

The sound of traffic

The reality people share

All shades of human passion

Existing there...

This time I'm doing different

This time I won't be so naive

This time I can't be sure of the outcome

This time I try to take more time to put my mind at ease

Here's to trying out new lifestyles

To packing up and moving

To giving up your comfort

And to possibly failing

We check in to an average hotel

Drink tickets are a nice surprise

This sleepy town is barely breathing

And I ponder its peoples' lives

Have a seat at the bar

Jack and Coke kind of place

Nothing better going on tonight

Take a look around at your new town

First night

This time I'm doing different

This time I won't be so naive

This time I can't be sure of the outcome

This time I take more time to try to put my mind at ease

This time I take more time to try to put my mind at ease

This time I try to take more time to put my mind at ease

This time I try to take more time to put my mind at ease

This time I try to take more time to try

Here's to trying out new lifestyles

To packing up and moving

To giving up your comfort
